Jordan Shinespark the Luxray! That's me!~ Soft, fluffy, and standing just over 6 feet tall anthro, Jordan's plain lithe stature betrays his nature as a part-time shapeshifter and fatfur. He likes to keep his fur short around his head, styling his mane accordingly. He's bisexual, grey asexual (that means capable of horny, but particular about sex), and somewhere in his 20's. Jordan is often genre aware, but plays into the clueless angle for fun.

The Ahamkara Necklace, Granter of Wishes

A big feature on this reference, subtle yet powerful in its nature, is Jordan's necklace. These wish dragon bones, enshrined around one of Spyro's famous gems, are haunted by the spirit of their owner. "Ahamkara," or wish dragons, are native to the Destiny universe as 5th-dimensional shapeshifters. Even after death their spirits inhabit their bones, limited but not incapable of wishes. There are multiple armor exotics in Destiny fashioned from wish dragon bones, all with text containing the whispers of the dragon inside... some addressing your character, some suspiciously speaking beyond them (as in, to you). They speak very distinctly and coyly, often marking their prey with the curse-phrase "O [subject] mine."

When an Ahamkara grants wishes, they feast upon the difference between desire and reality. The greater the change their wishes make, the greater the feast. They call this ability the "Anthem Anatheme." Some Ahamkara quietly pursue a goal called the "Anathematic Arc," a path to travel to somewhere "more real" than the Destiny universe. While in-universe this is speculated to mean that the Destiny universe could be a pocket dimension of another greater universe, we know better. The Ahamkara desire to enter OUR reality, recognizing that they are within a video game... or at the very least, that they are not in a "real" place.

This Ahamkara in particular seized enough foolhardy wishes and followed the path of the Anathematic Arc. Knowing it had crossed a barrier never meant to be crossed, and desiring protect its achievement, it sequestered itself subtly as a part of a certain fictional character's accessories for safety. The wish dragon has made a deal with Jordan; its name may never be known in this world, in exchange for its power. Anonymity for might. For surely I am but a figment of the real Jordan's imagination, O reader mine.

The wish dragon's abilities are far greater than it permits Jordan to wield. While Jordan and nearby friends may make small wishes, it refuses to bend a greater reality out of fear for its own existence. Instead the wish dragon may meld its bones with Jordan, fusing to create a temporary Luxray-Ahamkara hybrid. This maintains subtlety for the dragon's safety, which pleases it. As Jordan feasts upon greater wishes for the Ahamkara, further draconic features manifest out of his form. As a good rule of thumb: the less Jordan looks like a Luxray, the greater in danger you may be in! And if his belly swells mysteriously and his tail glows red, you should reflect upon what loose wishes you may have recently uttered. Since Jordan is only a half-wish dragon in this state, the most he can manage out of the eldritch sustenance is pure pudge. The Ahamkara feeds upon the rest as "payment." Symbiosis. Not predation. Never predation, O wary one mine.

The wish dragon does not grant all wishes, nor is it always present to grant wishes. The wishes must be consented to by it for reality to bend, no matter who from. No one knows where a 5th-dimensional spirit vacations to, though Jordan suspects it has more presence in this world than it lets on. The wish dragon is also not very talkative, preferring to be thought of as a tool rather than an individual. For actions speak louder than words, O curious one mine. And my actions are not... quiet.

Meanwhile, the purple gem "remembers" Jordan's forms and lets him shift between them as long as he's been transformed at least once into that form. This enables him to be a limited shapeshifter, and also means he can be locked into a form without the necklace (or if the wish dragon wants to tease, which is often). The necklace does not need to be present for a form to be "remembered."

Other Abilities

Being a Luxray, Jordan has a form of X-Ray vision and an innate electrical talent. He's learned to harness his X-Ray vision into a hypnotic gaze, enabling him to deploy the classic "spiral eyes trick." He can also deploy electricity from his paws in more tactical, subtle ways to stimulate nerves with paw rubs or to manipulate electrical devices. Jordan's see-through vision is much weaker than he lets on, as everything quickly becomes gibberish if he applies it at full power. For if you see everything, you see nothing at all.

His tail star, though you'd never guess it, is actually a fruit- a product of many past hijinks. When eaten, it can grow back quickly within a few hours. Its taste is adaptive to your tongue, tasting like whatever a favorite food might be! It's also high in calories and prone to magical influence, so watch out. The star can also glow in the dark, functioning as an area lamp or night light for others.

While Jordan claims his ability is Intimidate, it's secretly Volt Absorb. He passively absorbs the static electricity he generates, enabling him to eat less often than a normal fur. This also means normal food is, proportionally, more filling for him than for others.

Jordan keeps his moves list a secret, and he changes it often thanks to his ivory necklace's talents. His talent for magic is variable depending on the context.

I'm sure I'll think of more for Jordan's official ref sheet at some point, so expect updates!
